It felt like hours had gone by as Jason and I sit on the sand looking over the ocean. The silence was nice and comforting. In the background you could hear the music and the fire rustling on the bonfire. The laughter of the students.
"Do you ever think it would have been easier to just move to New York for college?" Jason asked breaking the silence.
"Of course I do. My heart wouldn't hurt and my relationship wouldn't be so hard" I answer "but I had to follow this opportunity and I don't regret it, if that was your next question"
"Sometimes I regret ending things with Annabella. I miss her all the time and it's been years since we broke up. I just always think of what our lives could have been if my family didn't move us to the US"
"Have you tried contacting her?"
He shakes his head "I'm scared of what I'd find. Is she in a relationship? Does she miss me? Kids? Married?"
"I get that" I understood it "what if I tried finding out for you?"
He turned to me "you'd do that? Really?"
I nod giving him a smile "sure. I know a guy that could find out for me"
"Oh Brooke that would be super awesome" he brought me into a hug and I melt into it.
A voice cleared from behind us. Jason let me go and we both looked up at the voice. To my surprise Lucas stood there with a duffle bag on his shoulder.
"Lucas" I jumped up as did Jason "oh my god. What you doing here?"
"I missed you so I thought I'd surprise you" he replies "sorry if I interrupted" his eyes travelled to Jason and then back to me
"Oh no man its cool" Jason says "hi Lucas I'm Jason" he holds his hand out and Lucas takes it. Jason turns back to me "I'm going to go Brooke, but I'll see you around" he gave me a smile, nodded to Lucas and then walked back to the party.
"So that's Jason?" Lucas says bringing me back to focus "he seems nice"
My eyes met Lucas's "he is just a friend Luke and he is nice. A really good guy"
"So why were you two over here away from the party anyways?"
"I came over here to think and Jason didn't think I should be alone so he gave me company" I reply
"Think? Think about what?"
I didn't know how to answer that. I didn't want to worry him so I couldn't tell him the truth, bur lying would be worse. So I was stuck.
"Let's not get into that Luke. Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
"I wanted to surprise you. I was literally already on my way when we spoke this morning"
"Well it's a nice surprise" I smile walking towards him "so how long you here?"
"A couple days. School starts Thursday so I'll be leaving Tuesday night" He says leaning in to kiss me
"Come meet my friends" I take his hand and we walk towards the party.
"Hey Brooke"
"Hi Brooke"
"Brooke hey"
People were saying as I walked into the crowd with Lucas.
"Someone is popular" Lucas teased.
I laughed "well I am a cheerleader" I gave him a cheeky wink "Dylan" I call with a wave.
She turned to me and smiled "hey Brooke, I've been looking everywhere for you" she ran over "oh who's the hottie?" she looked to Lucas.
"This is Lucas" I introduce "he's visiting for a couple of days. Luke this is Dylan who's I've been telling you about"
"Nice to meet you Dylan" Lucas smiles
"You too Lucas. Nice to put a face to the name. Well in person anyways. Pictures don't do you justice though"
"So I was thinking we could go grab some food or something" Lucas says turning to me "catch up just us"
"Erm yeah okay sure" I nod "I'll see you tomorrow Dylan"
She nodded "yeah okay cool. Have fun" she smiles going back into the crowd
I introduce Lucas to Demi and Danielle as we were leaving. I was happy Lucas came to visit, but we haven't been away from each other that long too want to visit yet. I guess something in me is just saying that Lucas came here because of Jason and I'm not sure how I feel about that.
We sat in silence at this little cafe not too far from the beach. I ordered a shake and some fries and Lucas ordered a latte and a burger. I dipped a fry into my bbq sauce and popped it into my mouth.
"so it looks like you've settled in nicely" Lucas says breaking the silence "you're friends seem nice"
I nod "yeah they're really nice and I have. It was hard at first, but then the girls started to include me into things and all is good now"
"I'm glad" he smiled "you looking forward to classes and cheer?"
"I am" I reply "fashion has always called me and I love to cheer as we already know. So I think it'll be perfect"
"and not being captain, does that bother you?"
I shaky my head "not really. I already knew I wouldn't have that when I came here. It'll be nice to be just a cheerleader again. Captain is fun, but I don't expect to get that place again anytime soon anyways"
"I'm really proud of you Brooke" he says taking a sip of his latte
"Thank you" I smile back "so what about New York, how's that going?"
"Its been fun, the rest if the summer before classes start. My room mate Aaron is fun and we made instant friends and the other guys are good too. I really like it there"
"That's cool"
"So we all still going home for Thanksgiving?" he randomly asks.
I lock eyes with him and nod "as far as I'm aware. No one has said anything. Why?"
"No reason. I was just asking" wasn't sure if I believed that, but I let it go anyway.
"So talking of back home. How is Lily and your Ma. I haven't got a chance to ask her how the planning process of being captain is going"
"They're good. Lily said she's had the best summer so that's good. I think she is looking forward to senior year being captain"
"I must call her before she starts. I don't went her going into it not understanding what being a captain is or means"
"I think she'd like that, she called before coming out here freaking out about and she didn't want to bother you with it. I have told her to call"
Oh I hated that Lily thought she couldn't call me. Of course she could. You s I've been Mia with the calls and that, but I really need to try harder with everyone.
"I'll call her for sure Luke. I don't want her freaking out. I get it because I did when I became Captain, but I got there and so will Lil"
The rest of the night we talked and it was nice. We haven't done this is weeks. Just having him with me makes it better. I'm glad he came to see me even if I wasn't sure at first.
As you see Brooke has told you, Lucas and the girls that she and Jason are just friends and they proved it in this chapter.
Please review!!!
Love you all so much
